Hi! Just thought I'd share a bit about 00my typical day. Well, I'll leave out all the silly details of what really goes on in the 2 hours of morning mayhem as I get myself and the 2 preschoolers out the door to get one to her daily preschool...it really does get crazy!!
Anyway...after finally getting DD off to school, I stop at the post office, as is becoming a ritual now, (woo hoo! I'm finally making sales!!!) and mail off my latest sale item. Then I try to hit the grocery store for a few necessities, but DS (19 mos.) won't have it. He has a terrible meltdown in the produce section, could not even get him to ride in one of the oh-so-fun "car carts", so I drag him out, kicking and screaming, and just go home. (with the music blasting to cover his screaming which I can do nothing about while I'm driving!!!) Fortunately he takes a nap right away, so I get to do my favorite pasttime, CREATING STUFF!!! Without kids! Enjoy a leisurely 3rd cup of coffee, turn on my crafting light at my craft table, and roll out some polymer clay. Just squeezing it in my hands is therapeutic, and seeing those colors form the pattern I'd envisioned while lying in bed last night is very satisfying. When I finish, I'll post a photo, I promise!
Gotta go, time for DD to come home!!!

Hi! This week was sort of exciting for me, as I made 5 sales on my etsy site, http://jennerosity.etsy.com. I think what helped, too, was that someone "found" me and featured me on this website, http://www.wickedlychic.com/. I was yesterday's "today's pick", the featured independent business of the day. So I was excited, free advertising! and seemingly those 4 sales yesterday may have come from that! So I'm learning the importance of getting connected and getting my name out there. The photos above are new items I've recently listed on http://jennerosity.etsy.com.
I'm hoping to keep up the sales and find some consistency and routine in all this, yet I always want it to feel like "art", too, at least a little bit. I know, it's 98% perspiration and 2% inspiration, or so they say, but I don't want to get caught up in the numbers.
adios, amigos....
